The Thai Foreign Ministry said today that one non-Thai was killed the five Thais were injured in the incident. The injured were treated at two hospitals. One was discharged after receiving first aid, but four others remain in hospital.

 

Earlier, the Embassy quoted local media as reporting that seven Thais were wounded in the attack.

 

Officials from the Thai Embassy in Israel have visited the injured and has promised to update their relatives in Thailand on their condition.

Right to defend itself? 

Or does that only go one way?

A rocket fired over the border at civilians can hardly be self defense.

When the offer to get back to Thailand they didn't all accept it, I think there was around 30,000 Thai's, I guess the lure of 80,000 baht a month including accommodation kept them there

Well said , I presumed it was Hamas , I stand corrected .But  a supporter of Hamas which is hell bent on killing innocent Jews, is just as Naziistic.

Is there such a word Naziistic, should be.

Hezbollah do not need to defend themselves against the IDF. IDF retaliates when Hezbollah launches missiles into Israel, If Hezbollah didn't attack Israel, Israel will not defend themselves.

Hamas 5 Thailand 0

Or Thailand 5 hamas 0

What a load of tosh. Thai- Israel government contracts for Thai labour have existed for years. 

For a long time, decades, it's been a legal way for working class Thais to earn enough money to build a house, etc back home.

Many stay for years, sending money home every month.

Comments like som nam na betray posters' ignorance and worse.
